We’ve seen some crazy phones in our day, many of them from Casio, as it turns out, but the G’zOne Brigade really pushes the envelope. It’s a ruggedized, weatherproof, Push to Talk QWERTY clamshell, with some of the odder physical protrusions we’ve seen on a handset this decade. Unfortunately, the QWERTY keyboard, which is populated with large and very clickable keys, is arranged in possibly one of the least sensible layouts conceivable. Software-wise the handset runs the full gamut of V CAST apps and also includes a document viewer for opening Microsoft Office files and PDFs. Price and availability info will be revealed “closer to launch.”
